Not necessarily true. perldoc expects POD, which can be internal or external to a particular module's source code, it is possible to remove the documentation and still have the module installed. Slightly better would be to just invoke the perl interpreter with -M and see if it spits out an error. For instance,
perl -MCGI (hangs waiting for input, use Ctrl+c to end)
perl -MCGI -e1

perl -MCGId -e1
(1 is a valid perl program; it returns 1)
Excellent, should have thought of that. I was trying to come up with something good to go in with -e but clearly was thinking it was more complicated than I needed to make it. "1" is about as simple as you get...
